I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

I disagree with the majority of the reviews on this one. I see it as a fitting tribute to Scooby and the gang. Yes, they changed a few things, but the spirit is still there. That being said, one of my sticking points is, yes, there is a shortage of our favorite Great Dane, but the scenes that feature are spot on to the characterization of him. The slapstick is great. I would recommend this if you go in with no expectations.

I don't think this is the worst scooby doo movie. It's just not as good as the previous one. There was no memorable music or moments. I just think this film focuses way too much on Fred and Daphane and Shaggy and Velma's relationship more then anything. What really annoyed me was that they had Richard Moll (the voice of Two Face from the DCAU shows) wasted. However the acting is good and the story mystery was decent.

It would appear in this day and age, that all the good ideas have been used up and either the movie makers 'remake' an already iconic film, or they re-brand it, changing it into something that resembles the original but in no way copies it 'frame by frame'. In this instance, Scooby Doo and the gang are mere shadows of their original characters; using ideas that are part of this made for TV prequel, and to be honest, failing miserably! Going into the story-line would be a pointless exercise, purely because there is a mystery to solve; no surprises there! There are red herrings and misadventures, again, no surprises. Shaggy is a beatnik who wears green and brown with a goatee; Velma is smart, wears glasses, has bobbed hair, no surprises here either!However, Fred now has dark hair (his style is like those in Glee), Daphne is tall and looks 30, and neither of the actors could act their way out of a wet paper bag. Robbie Amell, the piece of wood that plays Fred (who 'acts' as Fred would imply this fella has any acting ability at all) and Kate Melton (again, a plank of wood), seem to have never seen what the characters actually say and do...apparently this was important for Shag and Velma (and Scooby in CGI sort of way), so why not Fred and Daphne?There is this new idea from Scooby 1 & 2 (proper movies with big name actors and some sort of budget) who started this 'let's have a dating contest' which somehow cheats the viewer into making the characters really human...not the cartoon characters in the original 1970's episodes. It seems a pity to change that area; a simple idea without all the emotional complications! There are remakes and flipping an idea into a new 'brand'. Then, there are movies that have some sort of redeeming factors...well, all except this one.

OK Firstly the people writing these reviews are either blind or haven't seen any of the other Live-action Scooby films, Scooby Doo 2:Monsters Unleashed was simply the BEST THUS FAR, WATCH IT BEFORE YOU COMMENT !!! Shaggy simply couldn't be replaced in this version, acting was great but character representation was OK, Velma on the other hand was a fresh and very appropriate face(Nerdy Look), Daph acted SUPERB but should have been sexier(Hot, Spot On Attractive, Sarah Michelle Gellar was ALMOST PERFECT, but short in stature...), FRED was well a JOKE ! LOL, Messed up his Character BIG TIME(Brown Hair != Blond Hair)..., mind you Robbie Amell acted VERY WELL !, but alas for the WRONG ROLE !
